Answer 2

Yes Beijing is polluted, more so than other big cities in the world.  But guess what, I think more Americans are suffering from allergy than people in Beijing due to the fact that Americans live in such sanitary condition.  Before long, a person sneezes, and an American drops dead.

Your body immunity is only built up if it has a chance to fight infection.

On a positive note, Beijing night life is awesome.

Taxi service is awesome.  Step outside at anytime of the day, even at 4 in the morning and you find 20 cabs waiting outside clubs.

Answer 5

One fact I have learned so far is I have discovered a large group of western audience are biased, culture-assulting and intolerant lead by their media which they believe it is source of truth.

I wish every Chinese could read English and they would know how the West is really portraiting China.

China has liars, many of them, but who don't.
